The 11th International Seminar "Forum UNESCO - University
and Heritage" organised by the University of Florence, Italy,
will introduce research works conducted on documentation and valorization
of the architectonic assets. It will also include documentation
of tangible and intangible cultural heritage as well as of museology.
Scientific knowledge, work and documentation about architecture
and urban environment, the relationship with territory, as well
as tangible and intangible heritage, become formidable tools to
the comprehension and exploitation of the universe of data and signs
given by history and culture, regarding in substance human life
that found and takes place in a certain geographic area.
The implementation of academic programmes constitute the fundamental
basis for fulfilment of critical and explanatory activities, linked
to the creation and development of a specific settlement, city or
territory, while they concur to the expectation of the required
planning interventions for preservation and exploitation with the
main purpose of supporting the human activities.
The purpose of this Seminar is to make a comparison between the
experiences implemented in scientific context, that let the setting-up
of working methods usable in research for a proper comprehension
of architecture, of historical and archaeological sites, of urban
environment and of the whole territory, as well as historical, cultural
and environmental contexts under research, with the final result
of obtaining essential instruments for a critical reading and careful
evaluation of preservation and restoration actions in these fields. |
